A compression wrapper to manipulate Zip files with PHP using a simple interface. You can create and modify zip archives as well as extract them.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add `jaeger-app/compress` as a requirement to your `composer.json`:

```
$ composer require jaeger-app/compress
```

Compress Single File
--------------------

[](#compress-single-file)

```
use \JaegerApp\Compress;

$backup_file = '/path/to/file.php';
$store_path = '/path/to/store';
$compress = new Compress();
$compress->setArchiveName($store_path)->archiveSingle($backup_file);
```

Compress Single File (Remove Original)
--------------------------------------

[](#compress-single-file-remove-original)

If you want to remove the file being compressed, just set the `setKeepOriginal()` method to `true`:

```
use \JaegerApp\Compress;

$backup_file = '/path/to/file.ext';
$store_path = '/path/to/store.zip';
$compress = new Compress();
$compress->setKeepOriginal(true)->setArchiveName($store_path)->archiveSingle($backup_file);
```

Compress Multiple Files
-----------------------

[](#compress-multiple-files)

To backup multiple files, be them single files or directories, it'll work like the below:

```
use \JaegerApp\Compress;

$store_path = '/path/to/store.zip';
$compress = new Compress();
$compress->create($store_path);
$compress->add('/path/to/file/test.php');
$compress->add('/path/to/dir2');
$compress->add('/path/to/dir3');
$path_to_archive = $compress->close();
```

Extract Archive
---------------

[](#extract-archive)

To extract an archive:

```
use \JaegerApp\Compress;

$archive_path = '/path/to/archive.zip';
$destination = '/path/to/store/data';
$compress = new Compress();
$compress->extract($archive_path, $destination);
```
